The rain last night was extremely heavy here at Ramsay. Puddles in
unusual places are still standing this evening. Local weather authorities
posted a 24 hour total for Crozet at 3.7" through noon today.
But it's 7:30pm now, the sun is shining, and the forecast for the
rest ofthe week, and the weekend, looks very good!!
Our two current major crews--masons in the parterre garden and carpenters at the Guest Cottage--showed up to assess conditions on site. Carpenters ruled out getting on ladders and the roof, and the masons had a go of it until about 11am, when steady showers moved in [and remained that way until late afternoon.] The masons did manage to add to the line-up of "soldiers" along the garden walkway before they left.

Patsy Wallenborn sent Charles and Lewis to trim hedges... but after a few hours,
they gave up--soaked to the bone--about noon.
J&A Painters arrived to paint Will's (Lankenau) old bedroom. We discovered a record of Will's height measurements over the years, and took pictures to send to the Lankenau's. They ranged from 44 1/2" in December of '04 to 5' 51/2" in August '10:
